So like the ring the ring camera now won't connect and then when you go into the app to connect it. It keeps saying wrong password, but it's the right password that we have we've had for years.

Speaker 2
Is that right? Okay. Well, if, Okay. Well if that's, that's the case, sir, the password is not working. There's really a need for us to verify the Wi-Fi password. Okay? Because, you know, the password is case-sensitive, and if it's not accepting it, it could be not, it could be the incorrect password. But we need to verify that only by accessing the router settings, okay? So can I have the model number and the serial number of your Linksys device? Just try to look underneath it.

Speaker 2
Okay. Okay. So, that is again, L for... Lima B-R-E-M-A-N one two two two at Gmail, dot com, right? All right. Okay. So, yes, as I've mentioned earlier, we need to access your router settings to verify the Wi-Fi password. So, there's also maybe a need for us to adjust some settings there because you mentioned some of the wireless devices are not connecting. So, ma'am, upon checking here in our record, how long have you been using this?
04:00
Speaker 1
Two years, so 2024, two years. Correct. That's what I have written down anyway. I, you know, uh, yeah, 2024. I don't want to say No, I don't. Okay. It's from, it's from 2023. [silence]
05:00
Speaker 2
two years. Do you happen to know the exact date of purchase? Okay. Okay. That's fine, ma'am. Yeah, because upon checking here in our record, based on the serial number you've given me, ma'am, the device showed up out of warranty, okay? And it means that it's no longer covered for free technical support.
05:00
Speaker 1
I just found the receipt. Okay. Go ahead. I've been have to wait. All right, first of all, okay, excuse me, excuse me. I changed the password, and now I'm locked out for two hours.
06:00
Speaker 2
Yes, ma'am. Two, 2023. And, yeah, so that just means it's no longer covered for free technical support. However, we can give you two options. For this, Ms. Laurata, we, uh, we do have a website which, um, which is support.Lynx.com. You will find their articles on how to access your Lynxis router. Okay? You can also take advantage of our AI tool at the bottom right. You just need to ask AI how to open the router settings or the router set up page, right? That's the first option. Our second option is the paid Connect service which will cost you $15. It's just a one-time fee of $15 and it will last for 60 minutes of troubleshooting or an hour. So, and this service, by the way, is not refundable. Yes, ma'am. Okay, well, right now you do have a computer that is connected, right, that is online. We can use that temporarily to access the router, okay, since that device is already connected to your wireless network. So we need, do you have a computer right now that can go online wirelessly using the router? Because you mentioned some of your devices are already working, right? They're connected. Yeah, so, since you have a computer that has internet access, ma'am, we can temporarily use that computer to access to router settings, okay? And yeah, again, you may try our website [silence]
06:00
Speaker 1
so what does that do for me to help you? so so we she went to go change her account her account password but the account password now you know it said it wasn't work it wasn't working so now she's locked out of her account the sign into the lynxes and her lynxes account online she needs to get that I need to get unlocked is all my I'm asking for the link yes the links the links account that would get us into your your your page
08:00
Speaker 2
which is support. Linksys.com, you will find their articles on how to access the router. Okay, unlock the Linksys, are you referring to the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account, sir? Okay. Yes. Yeah, just also to inform you, sir, okay, regarding the Linksys Smart WiFi account, that has been dismantled
08:00
Speaker 1
So, all right, let me let me ask you a question. So if if we wanted to go into a Linksys account, like our Linksys account, and change the Wi-Fi passwords, how do you do that? Okay. Now... What was it? It was what was it 19?
09:00
Speaker 2
We can no longer do that, sir, because, again, the Linksys Smart, the Remote Access website has been discontinued. So, however, the router and internet connection will still continue to work normally. You can manage the router by accessing the MyRouter.local, or the router IP address. If you're trying to change the Wi-Fi password, sir, you can access the router by going to 192.168.1.1, which is the router IP address or MyRouter.local. That's how you access it.
09:00
Speaker 1
22 and one.
10:00
Speaker 2
192 168 1 1 yes that should connect you to the router settings yes the router password by default that is admin a d m i n all lowercase but if you happen to change the router password when you set that up before you need to use that password yes [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
hasn't stated and G. no no yeah it won't even let even when I type in the password we changed it to it doesn't work oh oh that's why okay. I see what you're saying okay. So the so I need the why the router I mean the because when I look at the bottom of the Oh
11:00
Speaker 2
That's the router password, sir, not the Wi-Fi password. That's a different password. By default, the router password is A-B-M-I-N. That's the default password, yes. So, if you happen to change that when you set up the router for the first time, then you need to use that password that you changed to. You may try admin right now, A-D-M-I-N, but if that doesn't work, then you really need to reset your router to factory defaults. You need to reset.
11:00
Speaker 1
When I look at the bottom of the Linksys, it basically... it has a Wi-Fi name. But we changed that. And then the Wi-Fi password, we changed that. So... but when I put the Wi-Fi, you know, the... where would I find the... a password to... what password are you saying I have to look for now? Yes. [pause] No, I know I know what the what... I know what the Wi-Fi password is. Like it's not that I don't know what that is. But but I can't access my... when it it tells me to act when I'm on that that website that you gave me, it's 192. It says access router. I type in it says the router password.
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Okay, hold on. right now, are you working on the computer that is already, that has internet access? Okay. Yeah, you can also find the Wi-Fi passwords there by going into the Wi-Fi properties on that computer. Is your computer running on Windows operating system?
12:00
Speaker 1
So, yes. It's definitely, it's definitely, the password is definitely not incorrect. I can tell you, this, because when I, when I go into my, my phone and I hit forget network, and then I signed back into my phone and use the password, it works. So, Yeah, like, yes. So, yes, and it works.
13:00
Speaker 2
Yes, I understand. It's not accepting the router password. Again, the default router password is admin, but if you happen to change that password, we have no other choice but to reset your router to factory defaults. And right now, your main concern is um, some of your devices are not connecting to the wireless network. So, it could be that the Wi-Fi password is incorrect. So, the the only way to that's the password you you you you you type on your network. Okay. All right. Then
13:00
Speaker 1
it just it just for the for the other the for all the other devices it just says incorrect password but it's literally the Password then we type in on the other devices that work. Okay, how do you do that? Okay. Okay.
14:00
Speaker 2
What is the error message that you're getting when you try to connect to your ring camera? [silence] Well, if that is the case, sir, there's a need for us to check on the router settings, okay? Probably there's a need for us to adjust the security level on your router. Um could be because this is a dual band router, uh could be that the ring camera is connecting to the 5 GHz network and it uh it doesn't support 5 GHz, so there's a lot to consider on this one. So, we really need to check on the router settings for that. And right now, since you're unable to access the router, sir, um we have no other choice but to reset your router to factory defaults. And yeah. And I'm so
14:00
Speaker 1
[silence] [silence] Okay. Okay. All right, no problem. Okay, no problem. All right, thank you. Okay. Okay. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
Sorry, because I won't be able to walk you through the process because again, the router is already out of warranty. It's no longer covered for free technical support. But you can always, you can always go to our website, sir, whicht is support.linksys.com. You will find articles there on how to reconfigure the router. Okay? All right then. Thank you for your time, sir. This is Ebi from Linksys. You have a great day.
